Just checked with my dealer - he said it's official. Harley will pick up $100 toward installation. He doesn't have any in stock yet. The status of the IDS in terms of availability is "phasing in". He mentioned that tis will be the first one he has done. Looking forward to it.

 

I 've got 1200 + miles on mine , the "elbow grease" deal was the deciding factor.

Really was nice on the 825 mile 2 day BRP trip I just finished

 

The Elbow Grease Program runs out on November 9th. Texas Steve on this forum has the form, and will email it to you if you ask him; according to the copy he sent me, it states that the dealer must mail in the completed service work orderno later than November 9th. So if you are thinking about taking advantage of this incentive - whether it is on an IDS or something else - you may want to check with your dealership to verify whenthe program ends.

 

Thnks TJMAC,

I just ordered mine today - hopefully will have it on by next week.

 

I just had the IDS installed and it works great. Unfortunately, I found that to take advantage of the Elbow Grease program you have to purchase the IDS part from the same dealer that installs it. There's nothing on the form that specifically states that, but the Harrisburg PA dealer said I didn't qualify since I bought the part from Zanotti's. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

 

Yes, it's real:

 

I think the Elbow Grease expiration date is November 9th, 2008. I think that's what my dealer said.....Bldr

 

I just got this good thru Jan. 31st 2008

 

HD of Annapolis has a display in the service area: Elbow Grease Program 11/01/2007 to 01/31/2008.

 

Went out for a ride on Saturday, it was a balmy 45 degrees, stopped at the dealer to ask them about this Elbow Grease program. They service mechanic said they are doing the Elbow Grease program until Jan but that they were having a special on the IDS this week. $250, Installed, Out The Door. I'm scheduled to drop the bike off this Saturday.
